Um, as a nonrenewable resource, I think we can disagree.
We will run out, and sooner than most people think.
The problem we should be trying to solve is how can we still manufacture things, without fossil fuels?
All the green technology today still depends on fossil fuels in their manufacturing. If we can’t figure out alternatives, and fast, it won’t matter what kind of vehicle you use. Even bikes will be obsolete if you can’t make tires or lubricant.
This is nonsense. We find oil faster than we use it most years, proven reserves have been an upward trend basically forever. If we completely stopped looking for oil we still have about 50 years left at the current rate and we have bigger problems if we haven’t slowed consumption in 50 years.
85% of crude oil is turned into refined fuels, to be burnt, for energy. If we simply go rid of that we would be drastically increasing the supply for non fuel needs. This will both be much better for the environment, and give us a much bigger buffer to create effective alternatives to things like oil based plastics, lubricants, and material processing components.

I didn’t say that we’ll run out in our lifetime, but we will run out. It’s a finite resource.
